Settle Storytelling Competition
We teamed up with social networking site Audioboo to find the
best amateur storyteller in the country.
We had entries from all round the country, with entrants aged
from under 10 to their 90s.
The competition was judged by Taffy Thomas,
Britain’s Storytelling Laureate, and the winners were announced at
the Settle Storytelling Festival "Tea and Tales" event on Saturday
8th October 2011.
First prize was won by Vera Jacques, with her
story "The Wooden Baby".
Second prize was won by Amelia Fawcett, with her
story "The Fox and Crow".
